or will it be easyer to get parts from the states :?:
and fix mine. ...................... importing the bits from lowrange is easy and would be my preferred option. :D

Carry 1.3 box wont fit.
No carry van box is a good idea, they are designed for an engine that lays over to one side, the gear shift and length of the box is different aswell as the mounting points aswell as the output shaft spline is different from my knowledge.
Ring your local bearing supplier and get a price on a kit to rebuild yours, there realy simple boxes to play with.
